parallelly-spaced rods 10. A pin 11 secured to the under side of thecarrier engages the groove 8 of the roller; consequently the rotation ofthe roller imparts a reciprocating movement to the carrier. The carrier9 has lateral,oppositely-directed arms12, the ends to form seats for ablade 14.

A plate 15 straddles the frame 5 and constitutes a top or cover for theblade. It is secured to the frame by the rods 10 which serve as a guidefor the blade carrier. To facilitate the engagement of the blade withthe carrier when a blade is exchanged, apertures 16 are formed in theplate 15 which register "with the seats 13 in the carrier. The frontedge of said plate is depressed toat 13 l ward the blade so as to'forman additional guide. This plate'comes in'contact with the surface to beshaved and prevents interference between the major part of the bladesurface and the surface to be shaved, and, therefore, increases theefiiciency as well as the comfort.

- I claim; a A safety razor comprising a frame, a handle associatedtherewith, a knurled roller revoluble in said frame and having a camgroove,.a pairof parallelly-shaped bars in the frame disposed parallelto the roller, a blade carrier slidably mounted on said bars with meansfor engaging'the groove of the roller, lateral arms on said carrier forreceiving a blade in proper relation with the roller, and a cover platesecured to the frame by said rods-to rest over 'the blade on thecarrier, said plate having the edge nearest to the roller depressedtoward the plate to form an additional guide for same.
